Is there a "markdown to html" UDF (simple)

[Myicq]

I have a small project where I create an SQLite DB with HTML based on a source in markdown.

Conversion works, but as I need to call multimarkdown.exe (or similar) in a loop, it's fairly slow. Especially because I need to create temp files on disc.

My markdown is very simple, I only need some headers, perhaps bullet points.

Did anyone create a UDF with an internal markdown to html function ?

If you need HTML2TXT conversion then look at this

That would be cool if a UDF existed for Markdown. Perhaps it's something you could think about contributing  yourself?

That would be a fun project.

It would, but I would really hate to re-invent the wheel if someone else has done it before me, and better.

So I gave this some thought, and figured that maybe someone had done in-memory implementations before. Seems like this is the case.

Because I know next to nothing about how .NET / DLLs work, my question to others - is any of these usable from AutoIT in any way ?

• Markdown .NET  (source available here)
• MarkdownSharp (source available here)

   

There are probably other similar.

If not, maybe it's worth looking at, some day.

Cheers for the C# links. I will play around with these in the next couple of weeks.

Guiness,

this is a different approach, but perhaps useful anyway - looking at the Perl code at http://daringfireball.net/projects/downloads/Markdown_1.0.1.zip it should be quite easy to get something going. Not sure how difficult the DLLs are.

I will try to get something going, to allow for very simple markdown use.
